Post rock meets the Wild Wild West in an album that leaves you no choice but to pick yourself up by the cowboy bootstraps and keep on truckin’: this is the long haul. This album is as vast as highways are as long and the guitar tones are as real as southern hospitality. Shallowater gives no real urgency to get anywhere in this album, nor is there any indication that it will. Gods Gonna Give You a Million Dollars is the perfect ellipses on a sad-country-alt rock packed year. It’s always yee-haw and never yee-how are you feeling.
